Re: Ties, Slurs, and Voices Again!

I have a situation when I have basically two chords, except that the top voice moves in a different rhythm from the other two.  Plus the inner voice needs a slur and the lower voice needs a tie.  This is the closest I've gotten:

\version "2.18.2"

\language "english"

{

 \time 5/4

 \key af \major

 <af df' f'>4 <g bf ef'> <c' ef' af'>

 <<

  { bf'8 ( [ ef'' ] c'' ) }

  \\

  {

  <<

   { g'4 ( af'8 ) }

   { ef'4 ~ ef'8 }

  >>

  }

 >>

 r8

}

 

I'd first suggest to give LilyPond a chance to understand what you want to achieve.

So I would redefine voices :

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.18.2"

\language "english"

{

\time 5/4

\key af \major

<af df' f'>4 <g bf ef'> <c' ef' af'>

<<

{

\voiceOne

bf'8 ( [ ef'' ] c'' )

}

\\

{

\voiceThree

g'4 ( af'8 )

}

\\

{

\voiceTwo

ef'4 ~ ef'8

}

>>

r8

}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

and plays with stem/ties/slur direction afterwards.
